Bridesmaid Luncheon

On Sunday my mom put together the most epic luncheon ever! I may be biased, but my mom can throw a party! She decorated the tables to go with my theme and even my cupcakes were a couple of the flavors from my cake. My mom made everything perfect. The bridesmaids got a "swag bag" with sunglasses (to wear into the reception or for cool photo ops), slippers for dancing, tervis cups with my colors, and makeup bags. They also got a rolling bag to put clothes, shoes, or other personal items in it. All of my bridesmaids and their grandmas, moms, or just themselves showed up. I also had a few other family friends that came. The whole reason we had the luncheon is because Chris's sister, Katy lives in LA and can't be here for my other showers, so we thought we would have a kick-off to the shower season.  Here are a few pictures from the shower.

The bridesmaids bags. All of them were different and we had a drawing for them.

The centerpieces my mom made. They are boxes with pictures of Chris and me. The sides have damask designs with sayings and different things and the front and back are pictures

She made the tops too. My mom is ridiculously talented!

So, I thought the luncheon was purely for my bridesmaids. I was wrong. After lunch and passing out gifts and doing a couple other things, my mom tells me to sit in a chair in front of every one. She then proceeds to bring out gifts people brought me. I noticed a Victoria's Secret bag and thought, "this isn't what I think it is, is it?" I opened the Victoria's Secret bag, and it was from my grandma. How ironic. It was so awkward for me to open intimates from my grandma, let alone my grandma who is a minister! My mom also bought me some as well and a few of the other guests did as well. I got some other neat things too. Chris's mom bought us monogrammed beach towels and a monogrammed beach bag. I also got an outfit to wear on the honeymoon from my aunt. I got a manicure and pedicure from my aunt and other grandma, and some other things for the honeymoon. One gift in particular made me smile. It was from Chris's mom, nana, and sister. It was a picture of Chris when he was a baby. Of course I had to share it. He was so stinking cute. I can't wait to have stinking cute kids!

 

The luncheon/shower was a huge success and I am so grateful for all my bridesmaids and friends and family who love me and support me. I am excited for my other showers this summer!
